CHARLES CRE'IORS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
EXTENSIBLE WAGON-AWNING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 788,755, dated. May 2, 1905,
l Application filed March 5,1904. Serial No. 196,770.
T0 (all w/w'm/ it Hetty cm1/cern:
Be it known thatI, CHARLES Cnnrons, a citi,- Zen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Extensible Wagon-Awnings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to awnings for wagons employed in retailing commodities in cities, and has for its object to provide a simple, durable, and convenient awning for such use andl which is capable of ready extension to afford the desired protection at the side and rear end of the wagon, all as will hereinafter more fully appear and be more particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrative of the present invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the awning-frame of a wagon embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same with the extensionsshown as extended in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is an end elevation.
Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts in the several views.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the framing of an ordinary wagon-awning, supported at the proper elevation above the wagon-body by posts or other like support 2, and which framing will usually consist of a horizontal rectangular frame 3, braced together at the corners by diagonal braces 4 and provided with inclined rafters 5, carrying a central ridge-pole 6, to form a roof-like support for the canvas which constitutes the stationary awning or roof of the wagon.
7 is the drivers hood, extending forward vfrom the main frame 1, over the drivers seat,
and formed by a skeleton framing of any usual' form and covered with canvas in like manner to the main frame 1.
The present invention involves the combination, with the above type of wagon roofs or awnings, of an auxiliary extensible attachment which is capable of being drawn out at the rear end and at one side of the wagon to protect the vender and purchaser of the articles or commodities from the wagon, and which auxiliary awning is capable of being closedagainst the main awning when not required and with a view to avoid interference in hauling the wagon from place to place. such end the present improvement comprises a structural formation of parts as follows: 8 is a longitudinal rail provided at its ends with right-angle guide rods or members 9, sliding in guides 10 on the main awning-frame 1, so as to admit of the aforesaid rail 8 being pushed up close to the main awning-frame or drawn away from the same the required distance and in parallel relation to said main frame. In the preferred form of the presentinvention as shown in the drawings, the guide-rods 9 and the guides 10 therefor will be arranged in an inclined direction from a horizontal in order that the auxiliary frame extended--the canvas covering thereof which extends from a marginal rail of the main awning-frame to the longitudinal rail 8 of the auxiliary framewill have a corresponding downward inclination to shed rain in wet weather.
11 represents set-screws or other equivalent clamping means engaging the guide-rods 9 to fasten the same at any desired adjustment of the auxiliary awning-frame of which they form a part.
12 is a rail arranged transversely of the wagon and at the rear end of the same. Such 'ail is provided at its ends with horizontal guide rods or members 13, arranged to move in guides 14 on the main frame, and as so arranged the rail 12 is adapted to be pushed up close to the end of the main awning-frame 1 out of the way or drawn out so as to extend the usualM canvas covering connected to the rail 12 and to the end rail of the main awning-frame to afl'ord protection to a person standing at the end of the wagon.
15 represents set-screws or like clamping means engaging the guide-rods 13 to fasten the same at any desired adjustment of the transverse rail 12 aforesaid.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isn
1. An extension-awning for wagons, comprising in combination a main awning-frame, posts supporting the same above the wagonbody, a skeleton auxiliary awning-frame comlOO posts supporting the same above the Wagonbody, a skeleton auxiliary awning-frame comprlsing a longitudinal outer rail and a palr of guide-rails attached at right angles to the ends of the aforesaid longitudinal rail, and guideeyes arranged in an incl-ined direction on the under side of the main awning-frame and in engagement with the guide-rails aforesaid to impose rectilinear movement upon the auxiliary awning-frame in a direction inclined from a horizontal, substantially as set forth.
Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 3d day of March, 1904.
